While entering freeway, i attempted to open sunroof (panoramic dual panel) and hear a loud bang followed by terrible grinding and cracking noises. As the glass panel retracted, a piece of plastic from the tracks shot out and struck me in the head while driving. After exiting the freeway i tried to close the sunroof.

The rear window shattered on the passenger side of our vehicle. I cannot see out of it. The vehicle was stationary. We did not see anything happen to it (person) via our security cameras. I am worried it will shatter. This seems to be a common problem as i have conducted research on the internet.

The electric rear defroster on my 2018 f150 xlt crewcab purchased in 10/2018 stopped working for some reason. I took the vehicle to the dealer for repair and was told that the wires had become disconnected from the rear window glass for an unknown reason. The dealer "repaired" the defroster using epoxy to glue the wires onto the glass again. The vehicle had 13,542 miles on it. I picked up the vehicle from the dealer…
